CWE CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The server is started using HTTP without TLS encryption, which means all data sent between clients and the server is transmitted in plain text. This exposes sensitive information to anyone who can intercept the network traffic.

Impact

Without TLS, attackers can eavesdrop on or tamper with data exchanged between users and the server, potentially stealing credentials, session tokens, or personal data. This can lead to data breaches, user impersonation, and loss of trust in your application.
